Smart Meter

Today CMP came by the house intending to install a Smart Meter. Just so ya know, I sent him packing. I have no interest in allowing the government to determine how much electricity I can use and when I can use it.

Especially when the government is so hypocritical - they want to reduce electrical useage (by force if necessary) because there is a shortage of electricity (California already has scheduled brown-outs). Yet, they push electric cars, and are subsidizing the building of electricity ports (docking stations) for refueling them - at taxpayer expense.

If there is such a shortage of electricity, why are they pushing electric cars? Do you suppose it is BECAUSE they want electric cars, and need to restrict other electrical use in order to make them viable?

As a side note, when I suggested to the meter guy that these meters would enable the government to regulate useage - how much we can use and when - not only did he not deny it, but he also pointed out the need for the government to do so. So now we know the true agenda.
